Henry Sidney, See also:president of See also:Wales, gave him in 1576 a See also:post connected with the court of the See also:Marches, but he resigned it in 1577 to go to court with Philip Sidney. See also:Young Greville became a See also:great favourite with See also:Queen See also:Elizabeth, who treated him with less than her usual caprice, but he was more than once disgraced for leaving the See also:country against her wishes. Philip Sidney, Sir See also:Edward See also:Dyer and Greville were members of the "See also:Areopagus," the See also:literary clique which, under the leadership of See also:Gabriel See also:Harvey, supported the introduction of classical metres into English See also:verse. Sidney and Greville arranged to See also:sail with Sir See also:Francis See also:Drake in 1585 in his expedition against the See also:Spanish See also:West Indies, but Elizabeth peremptorily forbade Drake to take them with him, and also refused Greville's See also:request to be allowed to join See also:Leicester's See also:army in the See also:Netherlands. Philip Sidney, who took See also:part in the See also:campaign, was killed on the 17th of See also:October 1586, and Greville shared with Dyer the See also:legacy of his books, while in his Life of the Renowned Sir Philip Sidney he raised an enduring See also:monument to his friend's memory. About 1591 Greville served for a See also:short See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf.

In 1583 he became secretary to the principality of Wales, and he represented Warwickshire in See also:parliament in 1592-1593, 1597, 16o1 and '620. In 1598 he was made treasurer of the See also:navy, and he retained the See also:- OFFICE (from Lat. officium, " duty," " service," a shortened form of opifacium, from facere, " to do," and either the stem of opes, " wealth," " aid," or opus, " work ")

king's party, although in 1615 he advocated the summoning of a parliament. In 1618 he became See also:commissioner of the See also:treasury, and in 1621 he was raised to the See also:peerage with the See also:title of Baron Brooke, a title which had belonged to the See also:family of his paternal grandmother, Elizabeth See also:Willoughby. He received from James I. the See also:- GRANT (from A.-Fr. graunter, O. Fr. greanter for creanter, popular Lat. creantare, for credentare, to entrust, Lat. credere, to believe, trust)

grant of See also:Warwick See also:Castle, in the restoration of which he is said to have spent £20,000. He died on the 3oth of See also:September 1628 in consequence of a See also:wound inflicted by a servant who was disappointed at not being named in his See also:master's will. Brooke was buried in St See also:Mary's See also:- CHURCH
- CHURCH (according to most authorities derived from the Gr. Kvpcaxov [&wµa], " the Lord's [house]," and common to many Teutonic, Slavonic and other languages under various forms—Scottish kirk, Ger. Kirche, Swed. kirka, Dan. kirke, Russ. tserkov, Buig. cerk

church, Warwick, and on his See also:tomb was inscribed the See also:epitaph he had composed for himself: " Folk Grevill Servant to Queene Elizabeth Conceller to King James Frend to Sir Philip Sidney. Trophaeum Peccati."
A rhyming See also:elegy on Brooke, published in Huth's Inedited Poetical Miscellanies, brings charges of extreme penuriousness against him, but of his generous treatment of contemporary writers there is abundant testimony. His only See also:works published during his lifetime were four poems, one of which is the elegy on Sidney which appeared in The See also:Phoenix See also:Nest (1593), and the Tragedy of Mustapha. A See also:volume of his works appeared in 1633, another of Remains in 1670, and his See also:biography of Sidney in 1652. He wrote two tragedies on the Senecan See also:model, Alaham and Mustapha. The See also:scene of Alaham is laid in Ormuz. The development of the piece fully bears out the gloom of the See also:prologue, in which the See also:ghost of a former king of Ormuz reveals the magnitude of the curse about to descend on the doomed family. The theme of Mustapha is borrowed from Madeleine de See also:Scudery's See also:Ibrahim ou l'illustre See also:Bassa, and turns on the ambition of the sultana Rossa. The choruses of these plays are really philosophical See also:dissertations, and the connexion with the See also:rest of the See also:drama is often very slight. In Mustapha, for instance, the third See also:chorus is a See also:dialogue between Time and Eternity, while the fifth consists of an invective against the evils of superstition, followed by a chorus of priests that does nothing to dispel
the impression of See also:scepticism contained• in the first part. He tells us himself that the tragedies were not intended for the See also:stage. See also:Charles See also:Lamb says they should rather be called See also:political See also:treatises. Of Brooke Lamb says, " He is nine parts Machiavel and See also:Tacitus, for one of See also:Sophocles and See also:Seneca.... Whether we look into his plays or his most passionate love-poems, we shall find all frozen and made rigid with See also:intellect." He goes on to speak of the obscurity of expression that runs through all Brooke's See also:poetry, an obscurity which is, however, due more to the intensity and subtlety of the thought than to any lack of See also:mere verbal lucidity.
It is by his biography of Sidney that Fulke Greville is best known. The full title expresses the See also:- SCOPE (through Ital. scopo, aim, purpose, intent, from Gr. o'KOaos, mark to shoot at, aim, o ic07reiv, to see, whence the termination in telescope, microscope, &c.)
scope of the See also:work. It runs: The Life of the Renowned Sr. Philip Sidney. With the true See also:Interest of See also:England as it then stood in relation to all Forrain Princes: And particularly for suppressing the See also:power of See also:Spain Stated by Him: His principall Actions, Counsels, Designes, and See also:Death. Together with a short See also:account of the Maximes and Policies used by Queen Elizabeth in her See also:Government. He includes some autobiographical See also:matter in what amounts to a See also:treatise on government. He had intended to write a See also:history of England under the Tudors, but See also:Robert See also:Cecil refused him See also:access to the necessary See also:state papers.
Brooke See also:left no sons, and his See also:barony passed to his See also:cousin, Robert Greville (c. 1608-1643), who thus became 2nd See also:Lord Brooke. This nobleman was imprisoned by Charles I. at See also:York in 1639 for refusing to take the See also:oath to fight for the king, and soon became an active member of the See also:parliamentary party; taking part in the See also:Civil War he defeated the Royalists in a skirmish at Kineton in See also:August 1642. He was soon given a command in the midland counties, and having seized See also:Lichfield he was killed there on the 2nd of See also:March 1643. Brooke, who is eulogized as a friend of See also:toleration by See also:Milton, wrote on philosophical, theological and current political topics. In 1746 his descendant, Francis Greville, the 8th baron (1719-1773), was created See also:earl of Warwick, a title still in his family.
Dr A. B. See also:Grosart edited the See also:complete works of Fulke Greville for the See also:Fuller Worthies Library in 187o, and made a small selection, published in the Elizabethan Library (1894). Besides the works above mentioned, the volumes include Poems of See also:Monarchy, A Treatise of See also:Religion, A Treatie of Humane Learning, An See also:Inquisition upon Fame and See also:Honour, A Treatie of Warres, Caelica in CX Sonnets, a collection of lyrics in various forms, a See also:letter See also:town " See also:Honourable See also:Lady," a letter to Grevill Varney in See also:France, and a short speech delivered on behalf of Francis See also:- BACON
